ie about half as fast.

To do:

1. Get 1.4 to use native indexes (we're recycling 1.2 indexes at the moment)
2. Optit
3. Reinstate read-only dir

Started (1) and reindexed vol 293 as a test. Works fine, so readingtest is now working hard reindexing all live content in a separate directory. Then to merge and re-test.
